    The relationship between the adorable seahorse and the mermaid is so sweet. The haiku is wonderful, too. I love the photograph of the sinking sunlight on the bay.

    "artist emerging"

    I think this is what happens to artists of all kinds (writers included), until they finally put down their tools. They are constantly emerging.

    Funny to read about Springtime while it gets darker and colder here on this continent. Love the 'seahorse' (is that the name in English too??)

  46. JKWNovember 24, 2012 at 8:56 AM

    What a good story. . . love the paintings. The picture out your window (or off your dock) with the ducks swimming is the most beautiful. I cannot imagine seeing that scene every day. What a great feeling. Blessings, Janet PPF
